OverviewIn the short fiction collection Movies Are Fine for a Bright Boy Like You, Andrew Farkas explores the unseen lives of stock characters (security guards in ""Watching the Night"" and the two guys who carry a pane of glass across the street during chase sequences in ""Mythos of the Glaziers""), examines cinematic conventions (absurd swashbuckling set pieces in ""Conditional Vengeance"" and the fact that pictures taking place in other countries are full of characters who speak English with bad accents in ""[Foreign] Accents""), deconstructs film genres (the thriller in ""A Suitcase of Money Out on the Edge of Town"" and creature features in ""Our Inner Kaiju""), while, along the way, lovingly making fun of almost everything having to do with movies (extras in ""A Real Nobody"" and purposefully schlocky B-grade horror films in ""Continuity""). So grab some snacks and get ready to yuck it up with the rest of the peanut gallery as Farkas celebrates the joyfully, wondrously synthetic history of the movies.
